Join us for an hour of playful creative expression with an introduction to modern calligraphy.  We will have a brief introduction to modern calligraphy "as compared to traditional calligraphy" where you will learn an easy recipe for creating letters in the modern calligraphy way.  The lettering style is a combination of italic print and cursive and achieves its artsy appearance by combining thick and thin lines.  We will learn how to create simple graphic florals to create a playful love note – either a note to self or you can give it to someone else.  No experience required.

Brush lettering is a style of writing similar to calligraphy. With each letter, heavy pressure is applied on the downward stroke and light pressure is applied with every upward stroke. Because of the use of pressure and the appearance of the letters, brush lettering is commonly known as modern calligraphy.
